Telling your family about depression
I don't know how to tell my family that I am struggling with depression. I was on therapy and meds before but I didn't tell them cause I didn't want them to worry and I was afraid that they won't understand that someone can feel so low without a real reason. Would you advise me to tell them ? How should I do it?

i m sorry cause you seffering with depression
if you dont want share your illness with your family thats ok you can keep all the details
but if you want you can say that you are not ok. You are not going crazy but you dealing with problems and you think you cant come over without help from a doctor . you can offer some resours to them they ll understand .
warm hug to you

I am so sorry you are having a difficult time telling your family. I am actaully in the same situation.
I have wanted to tell my mom and sister so many times and I just can't get the words out. My reason, I don't want them to worry! I was hoping with meds and counceling it would get better. Now it's been over a year and still not better.
I hope we can both find the strength and words to let our families in.
